Voyager 130

Voyager 130 is a 14-minute orchestral tone poem, inspired by Beethoven's String Quartet No. 13 (Op. 130) — which was included on the Golden Record aboard the Voyager spacecraft — the piece traces Voyager's journey through space, weaving together orchestral textures, synthesizers, and recordings from the Golden Record itself to reflect both the wonder and loneliness of interstellar travel, ending with a quiet farewell as Voyager drifts into the vast unknown.

Grand Slam Fanfare

Grand Slam Fanfare is a 3½-minute orchestral celebration of baseball. Commissioned by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, it draws on the familiar organ vamps heard between pitches at a ballpark. The piece transforms these musical motifs into a symphonic spectacle, culminating in a dramatic final moment marked by the crack of a baseball bat designed specifically for the work, performed by St. Louis Cardinals legend Ozzie Smith for the world premiere.

In Fields

In Fields is a pastoral orchestral work composed as a heartfelt tribute to the composer's father on the occasion of his completion of tenure as music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Commissioned when the composer was 23-years-old, the piece reflects a spirit of gratitude and remembrance, unfolding through warm lyricism and expansive textures that evoke open landscapes and quiet reflection. The piece has also been performed by the Manhattan School of Music Symphony Orchestra, whose recording of the work was released on Naxos Records.
